Stumpy:(

7. From what I have seen so far,

Every flag waver needs to see this, every macho type needs to see this. this is what war does!

[SeattleGirl]

9. Amen, Mike. n/t

[Minimus]

10. Singing the marine song - that broke my heart

[Minimus]

11. The insurgent released videos of the bombs are hard to watch

[SeattleGirl]

12. Oh, they really are.

But it's part of the truth of what happens over there, unlike the rather clean video we usually see.

[babylonsister]

13. It amazes me these soldiers even lived through those explosions. nt

[Hissyspit]

14. Thanks for your reactions, folks.

I have a friend who is supposed to be recording it for me.

[babylonsister]

16. If that doesn't work out for you, I'll make you a copy. I missed the

first minute or two, but it's recording. :hi:

[MikeNearMcChord]

15. And yet George Bush will not increase the budget

to help these guys, Hell you can confiscate the assets of Haliburton and the oil companies and still that isn't enough! I hope Gandolfini wins an Emmy for this.

[SeattleGirl]

17. Damn straight!

It's long past time for BushCo to actually DO somthing to support these men and women other than fucking photo ops!

[chimpymustgo]

18. And these are the people who LIVED. This is beyond heartbreaking.

Rather than Gen. Betrayus testifying - how about showing this to Congress?

[SeattleGirl]

19. Excellent idea.

I wonder if ANY of them are watching this?

[SeattleGirl]

20. That Marine Sgt. skating with his kids is wonderful.

The kids don't give a flying freak; they just love their dad.

21. all this program did was make me angry . . .

there's absolutely no reason for these young men and women to have been so severely injured . . . all I could think of while watching this is Gen. Smedley Butler's comments about war being a racket . . . that's all it is -- a racket carried out by those in power for their own gain, and at the expense of the nation's finest young people . . . I'm ashamed to be an American after watching this . . .
